war begun, Alexandria, which had been so loyal
princes, took a turn the other way, and named a
street after newspaper man-John Wilkes-who
was then in prison in London for an alleged libel
on the king. The street. however, did not pros
per, for marsh cut it in twain. On hill between
Royal and Water streets few dwellings were
erected but elsewhere the street was either marsh
or fields Some manufactures were at last estab-
hshed as the marsh was drained-a pottery, a tan
merry. &c.,-which improved the thOroughfare east

other extensions. Next year will GER
sainly lie an important one in railway con-
struction in this section, and Fort Worth
will be the center Of operations.
The stranger who gets OF at the Union
depot these days is deeply impressed by
the fact that Fort Worth is indeed the
unrivalled railroad center Of the south
west Running north from the Union
depot, are tracks OF four great trunk
lines, the Missouri Pacific, the SAINTS Fe,
the Fort Worth and Denver and the
Houston and Texas Central; running
south are the tracks OF three trunk lines,
running east is the Texas and
Paclhc, am west the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande and the Texas
and Pacific, also trunk line, and
on these tracks twenty-five passe niger
trains arrive and depart daily. By Jan
usry the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
VIII add four trains TO the list, and the
Fort Worth and Denver will add two
trslns, doubling its passenger service. at
present the Missouri Pacific heads the
list with six trains in and out daily.
The world now acknowledges that Fort
Worth is the only true railroad center OF
the southwest.
President Paddock Of the Fort Worth
snd Rio GraDde was seen YESTERDAY and
questioned IS to the progress of the en-
gineers and the prospects for an early ex-
tension of the road from Grsnbury Cap
rain Paddock says the engineers after
spending G month in the rich valley Of the
PaluXy, which is beautiful to look upon
aud bountlful in resources, but difficult
to pass through with s railroad, were
orderee on and ran good preliminary
lines to Coleman and Brentwood, Yhen
they retraced their steps to Granbury,
and are now st work locating the very
best line that can be obtained. THE
work Of locating will be thoroughly done,
and the work carefully revised before
Ork OF construction will be-
gin, but this will not take
many weeks before it is completed.
A considerable quantity of material has
been collected in the compsnY's yards in
this city, consisting of rails, ties, bridge
timoers, spikes, fish plates, etc which
will be used on the extension and in Rd-
1ition to this fifty miles of steel rails are
now On he way. President Paddock says
the two representatives of the syndicate
who recently went over The entire route.
were delighted with the country Ind ex-
pressed themselves ss greatly Surprised
st the richness of the soil and the re-
sources of the country, and they went
back home prepared to make q good re-
port. President Paddock says no line
has been surveyed to San Apgtl 10 as yet,
for there will be time enough for thst
